If you are using a M62, just rig up a drag winch pull with as many part line as you have snatch blocks for and the truck will pull out. Don’t even try the ridiculous nylon strap jerk pulls you see on u tube.
So what happens when he sells someone generic 3/8” J30R7 fuel/emission hose and someone clueless installs it on a fuel injection system that requires J30R9 high pressure hose?
What’s important to know about the viscous clutch is fording. With that clutch, if the engine is red hot after a highway run, fan fully engaged, and you enter deep water, all the blades will break off the fan, and puncture the radiator. This obviously is a show stopper to Uncle but maybe not you.
I have extracted CCKWs from 30+ year naps in the woods and usually they roll ok once you pull them loose. That can take massive pulling effort. The IH is a much heavier duty truck than the Jimmy.

Welcome. That thing in your picture is the throttle servo that was used to control engine speed when the PTO generator was installed. You can remove it.
That is a good question. The manifolds that are available ($$$) were surplussed out back in the GL days, which is like 10 years ago. Already getting old for O rings. And then figure Uncle had them on the shelf for ? years. So that opens up the “R Racing” rebuild scenario which appears to be...
